The Bar Harbor Inn & Spa is the perfect location when visiting Bar Harbor. You’re steps away from Main Street and walks along the waterfront. We stayed in the Newport building, which was just fine - it was clean, but not super updated. There was a thermostat in the room, but even when we tried to turn the temp down to sleep, the room stayed hot, which makes me think we didn’t really have control of the temperature. The water pressure is also very soft, which I did not enjoy. The continental breakfast wasn’t great, the pastries taste store bought and the fruit was watery. However, the dining area was very pretty and had great views. We also stopped in the hotel’s bar for after dinner drinks and dessert, which was very fun. The staff were attentive, the mocha cake was yummy, and the drinks were great. The hotel also serves cookies in the lobby every afternoon, and they were delicious! This was a really nice touch. We were in the area to celebrate our anniversary, and the hotel left us a handwritten note and a box of chocolates to help us celebrate, and we thought this was a very thoughtful touch. Overall, the grounds are stunning, you can’t get any better in the area, and the service is great. This is one of the more expensive hotels in the area and markets itself as a luxury stay, so I was hoping for a perfect experience. Overall, it was great, but there some areas for improvement.

I stayed at the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa for a girls’ weekend trip. Initially, I was concerned that the price per night was high. Once we arrived I was pleasantly surprised and realized we booked the best place in Bar Harbor. We had a room with an ocean view balcony. The service was exceptional. Omario, Errol, Patroi, Patricia and the people who cleaned our room went above and beyond. The gentleman at the front would save cookies for us every night . ( Yes, daily free freshly made cookies, free coffee, free blueberry lemonade and all day blueberry tea, free night-time, fire- pit smorees, and free continental breakfast). Patricia made a special pastry for us , after the initial serving was finished. The infinite pool, hot tubs are so refreshing after long mountain hikes. After our stay, I believe our rooms were well worth the cost because of the things I mentioned above. In addition, I do think the rooms could use an update and the carpet should be changed to vinyl, laminate or tile faux wood.

My husband and I had the absolute best experience here! The rates aren’t cheap, but well worth every penny! The view from our room was stunning. The views around the rest of the premises were the same. The pool was awesome. The food was delicious, and mostly reasonably priced (I say mostly, because the reading room prices were quite expensive in comparison to everywhere else). The staff was incredible! I don’t know if I have ever experienced a friendlier staff. We can’t wait to go back!

Great place to stay when visiting Acadia national park. Very close to the park and it is also walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor. The views from the waterfront rooms are great! Honestly the continental breakfast was also very good, they had a great variety and the dinning area was very clean
